Pamela Andrea Díaz Saldías (born on February 26, 1981, in Puerto Montt, Chile) is a famous Chilean model and TV personality. People often call her "La Fiera," which means "The Beast," because of her strong and lively personality on screen. She has been a big part of Chilean television for many years.

Pamela Díaz: A TV Star

Pamela Díaz started her journey in television in 1996. She first appeared in a beauty pageant on a show called Venga Conmigo on Canal 13. This was her first step into the world of entertainment.

Early Career and Rise to Fame

In 1999, Pamela became even more well-known when she competed in the Miss Mundo Chile beauty pageant. She came in second place, which was a great achievement. Before that, she had also participated in the Miss 17 pageant. Even though she didn't win Miss Mundo Chile, the pageant helped her career take off. She then joined a popular youth TV program called Mekano and stayed there until 2000.

After Mekano, Pamela became very popular in Chile. She was featured in many advertisements and also worked as a model. She even appeared as a model in La Movida del Festival, a show related to the famous Viña del Mar Festival.

Reality TV Adventures

Pamela Díaz is also famous for her appearances on reality TV shows. On May 10, 2005, she joined La Granja VIP on Canal 13. In this show, she lived on a farm for over three months, taking care of animals and growing her own food. During her time on the show, she had some disagreements with other participants. This led the Chilean press to give her the nickname "La Fiera Vip." She was eliminated early but later returned to the show for a short time.

After La Granja VIP, Pamela worked as a commentator for a while. Later, she joined Chilevisión as a panelist on the entertainment show Sálvese Quien Pueda (SQP). On this show, she became known for her strong opinions and lively discussions.

In 2006, Pamela left SQP but continued to work for Chilevisión. She starred in a "docu-reality" series called Diary of a Bride on the Spotlight program. This series showed all the preparations for her wedding to Manuel Neira. Their wedding took place on December 15, 2006, and was even broadcast live on TV in Chile.

International Recognition and More TV Roles

Pamela's fame grew internationally when she participated in a fashion show in Germany during the 2006 World Cup. She walked the runway with other famous international models.

In April 2009, she returned to television on Telecanal with a program called Just Them. This show discussed topics of interest to women. Her comments on the show often made headlines.

Later, Canal 13 invited her to join their new reality show, 1910. She initially declined due to other commitments, but eventually joined for 20 days.

In 2010, she worked as a commentator on Canal 13's morning shows. She also co-hosted a program about the Viña del Mar Festival. Later, she moved to Mega channel, where she was a panelist on the entertainment section of the morning show To Meet You. She also appeared on Look Who's Talking.

In 2012, Pamela participated in the TV dance competition Fiebre de Baile V. She won the competition with a large number of votes from her fans.
